Physical effects of extra heartbeats
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how extra heartbeats (called premature ventricular complexes, or PVCs) can affect your body, like your balance and movement. It aims to help doctors better understand and treat this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with extra heartbeats that cause symptoms and have not improved with at least one heart medication.
- Your extra heartbeats make up at least 10% of your total heartbeats (measured on a heart monitor).
- You are physically able to take part in the study's tests and exams.
- You are willing to sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

This study looks at whether certain foods or diet patterns relate to extra heartbeats called PVCs. It compares people with many PVCs to healthy people to see if diet might play a role.
This study compares two ways to treat premature ventricular contractions (extra heartbeats that can cause symptoms). One approach is a catheter ablation (a procedure that destroys the tissue causing the extra beats), and the other is using anti-arrhythmic drugs (medications to control the rhythm). If you have frequent PVCs and a healthy heart, this trial could help you find the best treatment.
This study looks at when a cardiac MRI is most useful for people with extra heartbeats called premature ventricular complexes. It helps doctors understand if the MRI gives them important information beyond standard heart tests.
This study looks at the serious risks of a procedure that treats irregular heartbeats. It aims to understand how often complications happen and what they are, which can help doctors improve safety.
This trial tests whether the medication flecainide can reduce frequent extra heartbeats (called PVCs) that come from normal heart tissue, and may help prevent or reverse heart muscle problems caused by these extra beats.
This trial tests a non-invasive nerve stimulation treatment (using a small device on the ear) to reduce dangerous heart rhythm problems. It is for people with frequent premature heartbeats (PVCs) or with an implanted defibrillator who have had repeated episodes of a fast heart rhythm (VT).
